Foraker. has again been snubbed,
this time in ST. Louis. This Mark
Meddle of American politics will prob
ably part his coat-tails once too often
and receive kick which will put him
to sleep Philadelphia Record, Ind.
A President OF the United States is
entitled to courteous and respectful
treatment, both for what he is and
what he represents. But in govern
ment founded in equal rights of all
men, every citizen, however poor or
humble, should have too much self
respect to pay un-American homage
to public servant New York
World, Dem.
Let us hope that our British cousins
will not be discouraged and abandon
entirely their efforts to win back the
American cup. 1t would not be genu'
inc English bull-dogism to give up the
struggle after four square defeats. We
will change our course, change our
regulations and do anything to accom-
modate them, save give up our style
of centre-board sloops.-[New York
World, Dem.
Americans believe that it makes a
man no worse to inherit great name.
They also believe, and just as firmly,
that it makes him no better. And, if
you think of it, that is mighty sem
sible view to take of the matter. If
candidate has the mettle Of efficiency
his name is nothing. Smith or Jones
will do as well as Hamilton or Chris
topher Columbus. And as people
we also feel that if a man lacks the
power to fill given place, his ances-
try, however long the line may be,
will not produce any results at the
polling booths.-[New York Herald,

1t is evident from the harangues of
these preachers that they have allow
ed their emotions to run away with
their reason, that their knowledge in
certain directions is incomplete, and
that their theological training has not
qualified them to clear the field of
economics at the first jump, or to rush |
through the intricacies of taxation on |
the full run. There are deep ques-
tions in political economy and social |
science, and the deep thinkers who, !
during the past two centuries, have .
striven to unfold them are not entirely
undeserving of the notice of even of |
slap-dash reformers.- York Sun,
Ind.
There is good deal of prohibitory
Temperance politics in the Southern
States, but it is not allowed to disturb
the solid South Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette, Rep.
There is not much talk about politics
in the Grand Army ranks, but among
the Republican members the Presi-
dental choice is Bob Lincoln by
large majority.-[St. Louis Globe
Democrat, Rep.
The essential nature, the very creed
of Socialism, is denial of the princi-
pies of our constitution, and the state
of being a Socialist is state of being
hostile to the happiness and good Or
der of the republic. Chicago Times,
Ind.
After the surplus shall have been
cut down the clamor for pensions for
everybody will cease, because it will
have nothing te feed upon. The great
mass of the people are quite of one
mind with their President in their
views concerning this NATTER Phil
adelphia Record, Dem.
Undoubtedly the merry Massachu-
sets mugwumps are having a good
time. Last year they only felt that
they were better than one of the two
big parties. This year they feel them
selves better than both the big par
ties. They must feel very well in
Globe, Dem.
